Introduction

Motherboard connects all parts of the PC together and it is a most complex part of the computer. Unfortunately, with great complexity comes great room for failure. Should any of the components on the motherboard fail, whole motherboard needs to be replaced to fix the issue.

Has anyone found a place that sources replacement batteries for these? As far as I can gather HP is not supplying this model's battery nor have I been able to source any equivalent after market battery. Looking on forums it seems others have the same problem!

Loosen the seven captive Phillips screws in the ascending numerical order (1-7). Numbers are printed next to each screw on the housing.

Screws will not fully come off the assembly. You need to only loosen them.

Remove the fan assembly from the system board by lifting it straight up.

For reassembly, you will need to clean the old thermal paste off of areas highlighted in yellow as well as matching parts on the fan assembly. Following that, you would need to reapply thermal paste before putting back the fan assembly. Small amount of the size of the rice grain should be enough for each plate.
